Hey guys, the tourney was to end 12PM GMT, not Pacific. In Pacific time it ended at 4am.

So I finished #18, which made the cutoff for gold. There's seriously only gonna be 24 people playing in the next tourney at that level? That's gonna be a fierce one to be sure! I imagine the bottom 10% will get booted back down to silver. Looks like the prize for this tournament is getting an all time ranking...wheeeeeeeee
Lotta fun though. Can't wait for the next one.

the tourney was alotta fun. it forced me to play games I don't like and it also made me chase my old high scores. all in all, I think it made me a better player. i placed around 30th in the silver class and i am very happy with that. congrats to everyone who participated.

Finished 13th in the Bronze tournament. Sweeeet!
I'm still not entirely convinced the scores were tallied correctly though, it says my final score was 663.77 and I worked it out to be 636.37 points (which would have put me in 32nd place). I added the points for all my tables literally 15 minutes before the end of the tournament, so I don't think it was anything to do with the scores not updating - a difference of 27 points is pretty hefty too.
I also added the point totals of some of the top players (again, just before the end of the tournament, roughly 11.45AM GMT) and they didn't tally correctly either. I think it would be interesting to know the final point scores for each individual table, rather than just the overall point score. Maybe someone could contact Farsight and get the individual table results? You have to admit, there have been a fair few problems with the leaderboards in the past.
Can't complain though, I didn't think I'd finish anywhere near the top!

So were there any prizes this tournament or was it just to gain gold-silver-bronze ranking?

I haven't seen any mention of prizes. They announced the winners of the ST:TNG tourney and there was no mention of prizes for that either.

Also gotta figure how many didn't play simply because they hadn't bought the newest table packs.

Yes, it's my opinion too. Too much tables from the latest packs.

Yeah, I stopped buying tables back in june when I made the decision to wait on the PC port and switch there. I was a bit tempted to get the packs just to compete in this, but I don't really want to buy everything twice, and I didn't feel it would be right to tie up a tier spot from someone else since I wasn't going to do any tournaments after the PC version release anyway.

I bought GTAV then found out there was a tournament doh! so I only dabbled with it till now.

the option for a tournament was always there in the old menu they just never had any it always said waiting for more tables and turns out they only use 8 and ther was double that by the time the hosted one.

Congratulations to SS for winning the silver tournament, and to anyone else who placed
Yeah tough is relative. There were some tables that if you can capitalize on getting extra balls. (TOM, Whirlwind, and others) I think I had my best scores just because of the extra-balls on some of the tables. Would be interesting to see what would happen if extra balls were turned off. I'm not saying the skills of those that won aren't great. I'm sure they are. I think it would be more challenging if they set the tables up for tournament settings.
That said, there should be a campaign for extra balls turned off.

There's been a lot of talk about it before, but nothing happened. I'm tired of trying to bang that drum.
